Write Fahrenheit to Celsius formula
Write Celsius to Fahrenheit
Temperature increase
Molecules moves faster
Temperature decrease
Molecules move slower
Absolute zero
-460
Convection
Heat transfer through fluid flow
Conduction
Heat form molecules to molecules
Radiation
Heat transfer through rays
Barometer
Atmospheric pressure 29.92(sea level)
In inches of mercury(hg)
Low pressure means
Low boiling point
A vacuum pump
Lowers pressure
30 Psig
At sea level
Psia
Pounds per Square Inch Absolute (14.7) psig + 14.7
Increased evaporator pressure =
Higher evaporater temperature
